Signed Off in Savannah

Popular WSAV Chief meteorologist Kris Allred has not been on the air for weeks as she was on a leave of absence helping a family member.

Now, the leave of absence is becoming permanent.

“It was supposed to be short term and now is long term,” Allred told a local newspaper.

On Monday morning, she was packing up her Savannah home for the move back to the Cullman, Alabama, area where she was raised.

She said she won’t be working for a television station after the move, at least not right away.

“I don’t know what I’m going to do,” she said. “I’m going to help family and then figure it out.”

Allred has been chief meteorologist at WSAV for nearly 16 years.
